Family and friend visits are getting expensive

Question

My husband and I live on the opposite coast from our immediate family and old friends; our entire professional lives are here. I am pretty insistent on seeing my immediate family consistently, but it is getting very pricey (and tiring) to make trips out to the East coast all the time. At the same time, resolving this issue by moving means leaving behind our current roles and the lives we've built here. Has anyone been in a similar scenario and how have you dealt with it?

Can you use Facetime or other digital means to substitute in-person visits once and awhile?

I've been here. It's impossible to make everyone happy but setting a new standard on when I *might* be able to come was helpful for me.

Can your friends and family meet you half way and visit? Living across the country is very understandable for not visiting as often. Being up front and asking them to visit you or letting them know you just can't financially afford it at the moment is probably the best way to go!
